The Vermont Folklife Center Children's Book Series

"History does not happen to others, it happens
in every family and to every human being."

— Anita Silvey, Series Editor

For more than twenty years, the mission of the Vermont Folklife
Center has been to gather and record the voices and stories of Vermonters.
An archive of more than 4000 oral tales inspired the Vermont Folklife
Center Children's Book Series, which captures the color and spontaneity
of the most unforgettable stories and preserves them for learning
and enjoyment. Regional in origin, universal in nature, these
true stories:

The Two Brothers

"A venture that appears to be the first
of its kind in the country . . . By transforming local history into
something that appeals to children, the Center is breathing new
life into dusty old social history . . . these stories are a valuable
tool."
